I want to change the timestamp from @timestamp per 12 hours to per seconds,if that's possible. ---

Hey @Raul_dum 👋, Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there is no way to explicitly set the `interval` of the histogram at the dashboard level. It looks like this issue may be the feature request for such a thing see [[Controls] Date histogram interval input control · Issue #134591 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/134591). So currently that leaves you with two options, both of which are set at the visualization level... The first, is set the `interval` in the visualization to `auto`. This is set differently depending on the visualization (i.e. Lens, TSVB, etc.). Using auto, the interval will be determined based on the global time picker and applied to all `auto`-interval visualizations within the dashboard. The second option is to hardcode the `interval` to a given duration. This allows you to set the exact `interval` but this is only applied to that visualization and not to all. Another downside of this option is that the interval will _ **not** _ adapt to the global time picker duration and could exceed the bucket count limit of Elasticsearch (i.e. [`search.max_buckets`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-settings.html#search-settings-max-buckets)), think last 90 days with an interval of `1second`. In such cases, the visualization will throw an error as shown below. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/e/eea1680d930472d497bf3a6f7d2b426472f25dd1.png) ---
